Good Morning Sunshine!

For many years now (we've both lost track), my best friend will call me day or night and greet me with "good morning, sunshine!" I can hear the smile in her voice as she says it, and she always makes my day. I simply had to turn it into a little quilt! What a treasure she is.Simple fusible applique, easy embroidery stitches, because that's what I love. I outlined everything in black to make it pop, especially since I used a vintage sheet for the background. I love using vintage sheets, but they're not easy to stitch through!

Oh no - looks like I got a little dust on my quilt!!!

You can make your own sunshine by popping over to my shop for instant download -

I mostly spent the weekend stitching. Normally, I like to clean up after every project, because in the frenzy of creating I make a mess. But this time I went right from one project to another. Guess what I'll be doing today???

What you can't tell from this picture is that nothing is where it should be, and I have to move things to put my coffee cup down. Plus the cobwebs and dust!!!! I need a good tidy and deep clean!

I did finish block 3 from my birds quilt.

Not real happy with his eye - might have to change that. I started this at my son's house, I should be finishing block 4 but golly, sometimes ideas demand completion!

Today is a lovely cool day, I'm actually wearing a hoodie to start. Better get cleaning before it warms up.....

Hi Allie i love the story about your sunshine block and your block brings a smile to my face its so pretty and happy,beautiful design my friend. Hope your day is a good one my friend and good luck with the cleaning xx

that is just pure adorable Allie-girl! I must take a leaf out of your book and get back to designing...its been a bit of a jumble the past year or two but youre starting to get my juices flowing again! Don't you just love it when simple things inspire the best out of us!? xox

Love the new project! Isn't it fun how are friends inspire us like that? I wish my sewing room was as --ahem--"messy" as yours. Sheesh Allie, it looks really good and I so admire you for keeping on top of things! I'm off to clean my room because my gal Allie has me inspired!Have a wonderful week!

I love Good Morning Sunshine.... how sweet and happy! Why is a vintage sheet harder to stitch through? Just curious. I'm using a vintage sheet on my current project, but I'm big stitch quilting, so it hasn't been too much of a problem. Your bird is adorable and ALL THOSE LEAVES... wonderful!!
